Looking for a snazzy new hairdo? Head on down to our friends at Raven Salon for a fresh cut that will be sure to turn heads.

About:Raven, the owner, has seen the neighborhood through many changes and hundreds of hair styles. He was here when grunge reigned supreme and when Pride parades still went down Broadway. He watched armored vehicles push WTO protesters up Pine Street and now watches Pine Street buildings give way to modern, multi-story apartments. One thing that hasn’t changed is Capitol Hill’s welcome to those seeking a place where they can celebrate what makes them feel unique and special. Come let Raven, the barbershop, welcome you.

What Are Locals Saying? This is the only place I’ll go for a haircut. Paullette has been taking care of my hair for 5+ years (since she was working at a different shop), and she’s brilliant. She’s been making my hair beautiful since it was just a couple of inches long, and now it’s halfway down my back. Every cut has been amazing, because she always listens to my concerns and wishes and she spends so much time perfecting the cut. My hair is incredibly thick, but she always manages to make it feel so much lighter without sacrificing any body. The woman is a magician! Call ahead to get on her list, or just walk in and visit one of the other barbers.

The shop is great, too–it feels so welcoming. Everyone there is friendly, happy to be there, and happy to see me when I arrive. via Elissa W.
